Mom: Season Three Renewal for CBS Comedy

by Trevor Kimball, March 11, 2015

CBS hasn’t made an official announcement yet but their Mom TV show has been renewed for a third season. Series writer Sheldon Bull broke the news on Twitter, writing, “MOM picked up for next year! Thanks, fans from all of us at MOM!”

On Mom, a single mom in recovery (Anna Faris) returns to live with her single mother, who’s also in recovery (Allison Janney). The cast of the show includes Sadie Calvano, Blake Garrett Rosenthal, Spencer Daniels, Matt L. Jones, Nick Corddry, Mimi Kennedy, and French Stewart.

Mom was a moderate success in its first year but, not surprisingly, the show’s ratings have improved this season as part of CBS’ Thursday night line-up. It’s currently averaging a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.35 million viewers. It’s the only CBS scripted series to show season-to-season gains in both categories.

Mike & Molly has also been renewed for the 2015-16 season. The Big Bang Theory is one season into a three season renewal so executive producer Chuck Lorre will have at least three comedies on CBS next season.

What do you think? Do you like the Mom sitcom? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed? How does it compare to the other CBS comedies?

Please keep this show !!!
What a wonderful, refreshing take on recovery and life afterwards! Keep it going, if you need any more material, there’d are thousands of meetings everyday with an incredible amount of material, both tragic,sweet, and incredibly funny!
This is real world humor, almost everyone is touched by recovery, and your show is helping to make it an accepted, and fun lifestyle!!
Thanks!!!!

We love the show! It shows recovery pretty accurately. Of course with a twist. We were really touched with the announcement about addiction and recovery. Also the scene on I-5 when they pull over. (I don’t want to be a spoiler) We’ve lived it. Thanks and we hope you keep it funny and real.

Where are the minorities? I’ve noticed that there have been many opportunities on this show for you to include supporting characters with diverse backgrounds. You all have not taken those opportunities. As you work to write for the next season, I believe that this is something you should seriously consider. Also please work to make sure that these characters are not caricatures, and try to avoid perpetuating stereotypes. Thank you.
